There were a few reports out of Boston pointing towards the fact that Boston Red Sox starter Drew Pomeranz would be rehabbing in Pawtucket on Sunday. But now this news has become official.
Per the Pawtucket Red Sox Pomeranz will be on the mound Sunday in McCoy Stadium rehabbing in what is Pawtucket’s second game of the season. According to Boston manager Alex Cora the plan for Pomeranz is to go 5 or 6 innings and then take it from there going forward.
Pomeranz is right on track for his middle of April return. He was placed on the 10-day disabled list by Boston with a flexor strain in his left forearm.
For baseball fans in the Rhode Island area it should be a great day at the ballpark to watch a major league pitcher work in what is an actual start for Pomeranz in terms of length.
Trifecta Sports will be at Pomeranz’s rehab start and will have play-by-play coverage including Tweets, video of his rehab, post-game interviews with Drew Pomeranz and PawSox manager Kevin Boles to gauge how the rehabbing lefty feels and what the next steps are.
